Startup Lessons Learned

DECEMBER 16, 2009

Our CTO is the CEO himself, but he lacks the understanding of the new software development processes and the new technologies. In school I was being pounded day and night with anything that has to do with agile software development. In this group, I am the only technical guru with very little industry experience.

You cant make these global efficiency improvements until you get clear about the goal of your development process. That leads to a seemingly-obvious question: what is progress in software development? It seems like it should be the amount of correctly-working code weve written.

What causes projects like this to fail in traditional software development is that the solution is unknown. In the case of C3, that was to run payroll for 87,000 employees, who were presumably receiving payroll before the project began. Agile is one way to succeed, because pursuing unknowns iteratively is a good way to mitigate risk.

We wanted an agile approach that would allow us to build our software architecture as we needed it, without downtime, but also without large amounts of up-front cost. After all, the worst kind of waste in software development is code to support a use case that never materializes. Take a look and let me know what you think.

I thought Id share a little bit of that, too: I’ve been interested in different approaches to software development going back to 1987 when – in my first company Feld Technologies – my partner Dave Jilk and I started talking about “semi-custom software development&# (way ahead of its time).
